[Hiring] Senior Associate @JLL

Role Description

We are seeking a Senior Associate to join a JLL team responsible for supporting one of JLL’s largest global technology clients — a Fortune 100 technology company. This role requires strong project management skills and the ability to support complex real estate transactions, while communicating effectively with C-suite and senior corporate real estate decision-makers. You will be involved in all aspects of the evaluation, negotiation, and successful delivery of real estate services, interacting with the client independently on a daily basis with minimal oversight from the transaction manager or account lead.

Location: This role will be in San Francisco, CA or New York, NY; option for remote based on experience.

What this job involves:

• Join a high performing, multi-disciplinary team to deliver Transaction Management solutions.
• Operate with energy, transparency, and a bias for action.

Critical responsibilities include (but are not limited to):

• Provide general administrative support for the client’s real estate portfolio and all transactions, including lease renewals, new leases, acquisitions, and dispositions.
• Manage all lease amendments, estoppels, landlord engagements, notices, and disputes.
• Track critical deadlines across the transaction lifecycle to ensure compliant, timely closure.
• Manage transaction paperwork and documentation, ensuring compliance requirements are met through closure.
• Liaise with brokers throughout the transaction process to support smooth, compliant, and timely deal closure.
• Oversee flex office-related activities, such as workplace licenses.
• Conduct due diligence on the client’s M&A activity.
• Coordinate decommissioning and reinstatement activities with facilities management, IT/ET, design & construction, and operating companies.
• Manage smaller transactions independently, with oversight from the Transaction Manager or Account Lead on larger, more complex deals.
• Support Transaction Managers on more complex transactions and portfolio-wide initiatives.
• Prepare and present comprehensive transaction summaries, business cases, and market overviews.
• Conduct cash flow and P&L analysis.
• Perform ad-hoc reporting and metrics.

Raising the Bar:

• Regularly liaise with peers to share best practices and other key delivery partners.
• Leverage JLL research team for insights, analytics, and innovative ideas.
• Invent and simplify best practices, including continuous improvement of processes, tools, and templates.
• Provide actionable advice on mitigation of anticipated risks and opportunities.
• Proactively identify process inefficiencies, formulate and execute implementation plans, and track results.

Every day is different, and in all these activities, we’d encourage you to show your ingenuity — with deep respect for the client’s partners and colleagues at every turn, and an unwavering focus on the end user of the client’s products in every decision you make.
